Abstract

The background for the proposed methodology is based on the principle of stage throttling with simultaneous equalizing and stabilizing the outflow, as well as elimination of gas-dynamic self-oscillating modes of the control valve. Having conducted an analysis of suppression and dampening means and according to established patterns of occurrence of self-oscillations we have suggested an integrated pulsations damper performing the following functions: elimination of gas-dynamic self-oscillations, reducing pressure pulsations in the source by reducing pressure drop, stage throttling with a reduced flow rate and outflow stabilization. A distinctive feature of our methodology is combining experimental dependencies with numerical simulation of natural modes and gas-dynamic processes taking place in the control valve and pressure pulsation damper. As initial data for designing the damper we have set its desired efficiency while ensuring specified operating modes of the gas distribution station and specified restrictions on dimensions and hydraulic resistance. The methodology allows for a significant reduction of broadband pressure pulsations and vibration by the damper due to the rational and maximum permissible distribution of pressure differences in the control valve and damper under operating conditions in which the total vibrational power of the control valve and damper is maintained close to the minimum.
